Today is National Cheese Day, as if people needed one more reason to eat it. We've made plenty of cheesy recipes over the years at Foodday. Here are 5 recipes that are loaded with cheese, plus 1 that doesn't have any cheese at all, but tastes like it does.

Buffalo Chicken Nachos: You like hot wings. You like nachos. Combining the two dishes is the ultimate in decadence.

Raclette Fondue: Downtown Portland's Brasserie Monmartre shared this recipe for its signature Raclette Fondue a few years ago. Unlike traditional raclette, where the cheese is melted plain and eaten with knife and fork with accompaniments, Brasserie's version is a thick sauce built on a béchamel base, producing a creamy fondue that's perfect for dipping.

Vegetarian French Onion Soup: Traditional French Onion Soup is made with beef broth, but this version is made out of mushroom broth, which has a rich savory flavor. The key to any French Onion Soup is the cheese topping, and this recipe calls for a half pound of gruyere.

Baked Pasta With Cheesy Sauce: Vegans can get in on National Cheese Day, too, with this casserole that uses nutritional yeast to get its cheesy flavor. The real secret to this dish is the addition of Dijon mustard to the cheesy sauce, which mellows significantly as everything comes together.
